The Importance of a Roofing License in Illinois - We'll Help You Pass The Exam!

If you’re planning to work as a roofing contractor in Illinois, possessing a valid roofing license is not just a recommendation—it’s a requirement. Under Illinois law, all roofing contractors engaged in activities such as construction or repair must be licensed. The penalties for operating without a license can be steep, with fines reaching up to $5,000 per offense. This underscores the necessity of obtaining your roofing license and ensures compliance with state regulations.

To maintain your credibility and protect your business, make sure to have your roofing license number visible on all contracts, bid proposals, permits, commercial vehicles, and websites. Let our expert team guide you through this process and help you pave the way toward a successful roofing career!

Frequently Asked Questions About Preparing For And Taking The Illinois Roofing Exam

Will I pass the Illinois Roofing Exam?

If English is your first language, you should have no problem! If that's your background, sometimes the passing rate is nearly 99%. We've taken thousands of people with little or no construction background, and we've helped them pass with ease on the first try. We were the first company in Illinois to offer a Roofing Exam prep class, so we pioneered everything we do. In fact, we are still the ONLY school in Illinois that offers a four-day class to make sure we do everything possible to ensure you pass the FIRST try.

What if English is my second language?

Not to worry. For our Latino customers, we have a native Spanish speaker present in the classroom all 4 days. For our Polish customers, we have a native Polish speaker in our office. In addition, you will find many Latino and Polish customers in the class, and in many instances, you will find others to partner with if you find the language tricky. But in the end, don't worry, you'll pass!

Can I pass without taking a Roofing Exam prep class?

To be transparent, it's possible. But to be completely honest, it's not likely. One contractor who's owned his own company in 9 states for over 40 years, and has over 200 employees, told us, "If I hadn't taken this class, there's no way in $#*%! I would have passed. This just isn't the way roofing terminology is referred to in the field. This is like a college exam!"

This seems expensive! Is it worth it?

The profit from one small, residential roof will pay you back 5X for the cost of the class. We'll let you do the math and tell us if it's worth it. And for every month you wait, how many roofs go to another contractor? And of course, the class is a tax write-off as well.

How many days is the class?

We are the only school in Illinois that spends 3 days with you for the Residential exam, and 4 days for the Unlimited exam. Other folks cut corners, or let you think they're doing you a favor by spending less time in the classroom. We want you to pass!

Do I need to bring anything to the class?

Everything will be provided! We even have coffee and snacks at no extra cost.

Do I get to keep the materials?

Yes! We'll give you our Powerpoint presentations and our special practice exams, all of which you get to keep. Other schools force you to return the exams.

I read I need to get my residential license before I get my unlimited license. Is that true?

That's not correct. You can get your Unlimited license right away! Most choose that path, as it's the quickest way to financial success.

Can I convert my Residential license into an Unlimited license?

As long as your residential license has been active for more than a year, all you need to do is upgrade to an Unlimited license by taking the Commercial exam. Talk to our office about our special pricing for that option.

What are the hours of the classes?

9:00 to 4:00 daily, one week prior to the exam. We want everything fresh in your mind!

When can I take the Illinois Roofing test?

Exams are held in January, March, May, July, September and November, and it's been that way since 2012. Registration deadlines for each exam are roughly one month prior, so be sure to call our office when you're ready. We'll help you register with ease!

Where is your office located?

We're right next to O'Hare!

Do you offer the class online?

Yes! You can Zoom into our class. Just talk with our office about that option. For many, this is a very convenient way of accessing our class.

How do I register for the Illinois Roofing exam?

Just give us a call at 773.635.0099, and we'll take it from there! You can also call Continental Testing Services if you like, but we've helped hundreds avoid costly mistakes by helping them register over the phone.

By the way, how much money can I make as a roofing contractor?

That depends. But very often your first year you'll be making six figures, sometimes much more. We've helped make many millionaires over the years, and it's something that makes us all very happy. Especially you!
